About this work

This black-and-white photo shows a row of tall stone pillars carved with detailed figures. The carvings include people, animals, and intricate patterns stacked high on each pillar. A thatched roof covers the top, and a person sits on the ground in front of the pillars. The photo’s label says "Horse Court Trichinopoly Pagodas," hinting this is part of an old temple complex. The carvings look like they tell stories, with many figures in one scene. Want to know more? Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art.
